Comprehensive Assessment
Our expert team of psychiatric providers, addiction medicine professionals and therapists diagnose and treat mental health and substance abuse problems in men and women ages 18 and older. Our comprehensive assessment includes a full medical history, a psychiatric evaluation, toxicology tests and lab work and consultations with family members. By looking at many factors influencing a person’s behavior, our multidisciplinary team develops an individualized recovery plan.
Medically-Supervised Drug & Alcohol Detox
Detox, or withdrawal management. clears toxic substances such as alcohol and drugs from the body. Bluff offers medically-supervised residential detox onsite at our treatment center just outside of Augusta, GA. Clients in detox treatment are monitored and supported 24/7 by our team of expert medical professionals to ensure safety and comfort.
There is no benefit associated with suffering through detox. In fact, the opposite is true. By keeping the worst withdrawal symptoms at bay, the healing and recovery process starts sooner. We use a variety of proven and non-habit forming medications to ease withdrawal symptoms. At the conclusion of detox, clients feel stronger, healthier and ready to begin the therapy that will help them sustain sobriety.
Residential Addiction Treatment
Our premier residential addiction treatment center is one of the finest in the nation. Set on 178 beautiful acres of rolling green hills and nature trails winding through a live oak forest, Bluff relaxes the mind, provides an escape from negative environmental factors and creates an opportunity to reconnect with the healing properties of the natural world.
Our expert team includes experienced addiction psychiatric providers, registered nurses, and licensed therapists and social workers with many years of experience providing compassionate, evidence-based care for clients with addiction and co-occurring disorders.
In addition to our clinical team, Bluff’s residential program is enhanced by the holistic and experiential therapies provided by our chefs, yoga teacher and other practitioners. These therapies introduce clients to new experiences, new perspectives and new life skills, while helping them overcome trauma and other emotional and behavioral issues that led to psychological pain or problems in the past.
Partial Hospitalization Program
Bluff also offers a partial hospitalization program (PHP), an intensive, structured outpatient program that is a step down from residential treatment. It is designed to help individuals as an essential bridge between the 24-hour supervision and support of residential treatment and life outside of treatment. Clients participate in comprehensive treatment during the day and reside in our supplemental housing in the evenings.
Consistency of the Treatment Team
It takes time for clients to trust their addiction treatment team, and understandably so. In treatment, we ask patients to look deeply into themselves and to make profound changes to their behavior and thought processes. Clients need to feel confident in their treatment team’s expertise and compassion. Our continuum of care, from detox to residential to PHP treatment, means clients maintain their connection with their care team throughout recovery.
